It
is never too late for education…this is part of the vision of the Arkin University
and Center for Art&Design established in Kyrenia in 2017.I reported on the opening event in connection
with the Auguste Rodin Exhibition in two separate reviews:

Hardly
a year has passed and the Arkin University has already come out with some first
presentations of their work and projects. On Friday, July 13…. please mark the
date….. we were invited to the display of some three months courses…

‘Arkin Center for Art&Design's May-July
period three month long certificated course programs have been completed. Works
that were the fruits of these courses will be put on display at an exhibition
that will be held at the ARUCAD Campus on 13 July 2018 Friday at 19.00.
Attendees who have completed painting, drawing techniques, sculpture, ceramic,
potter's wheel, creative print, illustration, graphic design, photoshop,
digital photography, experimental film and video courses will be presented with
their certificates.’

The
Dean of the Faculty of Communication, Visual Communication Design, Assoc. Prof.
Dr. Alev Adil, opened the event together with Erbil Arkin, founder and
spiritual father of ARUCAD, with a short presentation of their vision and an
invitation to everyone creative and willing to try their hand and get further
education in any of the above mentioned art disciplines. Learning by doing, in
courses, as part or full time student, no matter where they come from and how
old they are.

Teachers
and students were present and the guests could admire their works in the
courtyard of the University which is a beautiful design in itself. At the end
of the evening, the students received their certificates and the film works
were shown as soon as it got dark.

Enrolment
for the next courses in September can be done any time from now. Please contact
the address given in their website.
